A few months ago I asked on Instagram whether people struggled most with time, money, or skills when it comes to creating.

An overwhelming response said it was money.

That day I started thinking up different projects I could share that were inexpensive, but still awesome. You never want to give up the quality of a build for the sake of saving money.

And that is when Thrifty Ply was born.

In my Naptime Craft Time series hosted last February I used a lot of ¼” birch plywood and figured I could take that concept and run with it.

Today, you can grab the free plans to create 9 simple projects with just ONE HALF SHEET OF PLYWOOD.

I mean you can’t get much better than that!! You can grab a half sheet of 1/4″ birch plywood for less then $15.

Grab the free plans and tutorial right here!

With these plans, you’ll be able to make…

3 mini triangle shelves,

An office pegboard,

A minimalists clock,

A picture ledge,

An asymmetrical napkin holder,

A memo board,

String art decor,

A standoff art mount, (I shared this project on my friend, Amanda’s, site a few weeks ago. You can check out how to mount art here!)

And a stacked hanging shelf.

Get your free plans here and start creating! These projects are simple to personalize to fit your style. All you need to do is decide on a color scheme or look and go for it. You can choose to paint your projects or stain them all a similar color to make them cohesive in your home.

I can’t wait to see what you do!
